The Maid's Strategy in the Red Chamber

see red

The big event is that Wang Xifeng is pregnant!

It's just that her pregnancy looks not very good. Xueyan heard Xiaohong said that there were faint signs of redness. The second grandma was afraid of losing her housekeeping power and wanted to hide it. Later, Ping'er saw that she was really not good, so she quietly told Lian The second master, the second master Lian told Mrs. Xing again.

While eating the lotus seed cake, Xiaohong said to Xueyan vaguely: "My sister didn't know, but my wife scolded my second grandma like a dog. My wife has cultivated her personality in the past two years, and her temper has become more and more calm. When did she become so angry? If it weren’t for looking at Grandma Er*’s belly, my wife would have wanted to slap Grandma Er* a few times. She was still annoyed when she talked about it just now, and she didn’t even eat lunch because she was so angry. Alas, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, my wife already eats less, and no matter how angry I am, I am worried that she will not be able to take it. The master is not happy, and those of us who are present will suffer accordingly, and I don’t have lunch, either. Fortunately, sister, you have something to eat here."

Xueyan shook her head helplessly: "No wonder you ran to me here in a hurry to find something to eat. You said it earlier. I still have a few silver rolls in the kitchen. I'll bring them to you. Those can fill your stomach."

Just as she was about to leave, Xiaohong grabbed her and said, "My good sister, I'll do it for a while. I have to go to work in a while. Do you have any more of this lotus seed cake? I tasted it very good, so I'll bring some to you." Madam, go eat."

"Hey, you are here to eat a big family, and you have to take it with you when you are full!" Xueyan smiled and nodded Xiaohong's forehead while talking, with disgust in her mouth, but she still went without touching the ground. I went to the kitchen and took a food box with a plate of lotus seed cake, a plate of silver shredded rolls and two side dishes.He took out a bowl of lotus porridge that was warming on the stove, and handed it to Xiaohong: "It's a coincidence that you came, my girl didn't eat much at noon today, so I made some porridge and cooked it again."

Made a snack for her to eat after taking a nap.You can take these to your wife first. The lotus porridge is good for qi and refreshing, and it can cool off the summer heat. It is just right for the eldest wife. "

Xiaohong took the food box with a smile: "I know that I won't be able to leave here, so I won't be polite to my sister. I will come again when I am free." After finishing speaking, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then took the food The box ran out.

Xueyan warned from behind: "Run slowly, be careful not to spill the porridge."

At this time, Jia She was consoling Xing: "Don't say it's not your own daughter-in-law, even if it is, how much can you control as a mother-in-law? It's up to them whether it's good or bad, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, we two take care of ourselves , take good care of your body, and if you can enjoy a day of happiness, enjoy a day of happiness!"

Xing said angrily: "I'm angry at that Feng girl who doesn't know what to do, and her eyelids are so shallow. It stands to reason that their Wang family is not a small family, why can't even teach a daughter well? One or two eyeballs are too small. If you fall into the eyes of money, you can't get it out. How much money can the housekeeper give? Not to mention that Lian Er is only her daughter-in-law, even now he has ten or eight side houses. As long as she gives birth to a son-in-law, who can shake her? Status? I really don't know."

"If she had figured it out, she wouldn't have wanted to put loan sharks in the first place. You've taken care of me a lot, so let her do it herself. Those who don't have a son don't take your surname, so you're in a hurry ..." Jia She said indifferently.

Xing sneered: "Do you think I'm willing to take care of it? I'm not doing it for the future of both of us. Have you forgotten what happened to the Jia family in the original book? No matter who wrote the last forty chapters, the family will not escape. .Before the child reaches that point, hurry up and raise the grandson, just in case that day. As long as the grandson has the ability, we still have something to look forward to in ten or 20 years. Otherwise, you just wait and see. Let’s die on the street. Also, is your good daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law easy to get along with? Even if the family has always been fine, when you get old and can’t move, see

Will you be thrown into the barn! "

"He dares!" Jia Amnesty snorted, stroking his beard.

Mrs. Xing frowned: "Okay, don't be so careless, what kind of son of yours has no idea? Forget it, don't mention these two, I'm so angry that my tooth hurts. Hurry up, go get someone I'm going to make something to eat, I'm starving."

Jia She teased her: "Who said just now that he refused to eat when he was full and told the maids not to allow the kitchen to cook? You said you too, and you were so angry that you remembered to save money by not letting the kitchen fire. I see Don't think that Wang Xifeng's eyes are in the eyes of money, you are not far behind, if you can be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, isn't this called "the family does not enter the family"!"

The gag made Mrs. Xing annoyed: "Come on, don't say a few words and no one will think you are dumb. What about food? Hurry up and get it for me."

Jia She never admitted that he was afraid of internal affairs, but when Xing raised his eyebrows, he put on his shoes obediently, walked to the door, and called a maid: "Go to the kitchen and ask them to make some delicious dishes for the wife." side dishes…”

Before I finished speaking, I saw Xiaohong happily entering the yard with a food box, and said with a smile: "No wonder your wife always praises you for being capable, look at this yard, and you only think about your family." Mistress hasn't had lunch."

Xiao Hong replied with a smile: "My wife is merciful to the slaves, and the slaves should also be considerate of some masters." Then she carried the food box into the room and put it on the table: "The slaves went to Miss Lin to ask for a piece of food. I eat it as a snack, and I think it tastes really good, so I brought some back for my wife, and there is also a bowl of lotus porridge, come and try it."

Mrs. Xing lazily came to the table and sat down, and saw the lotus seed cake cut into diamond-shaped pieces placed on a blue plate, dotted with some sweet-scented osmanthus molasses.Another plate of silver silk rolls is small and exquisite, which is really cute.There is also a plate of celery mixed with lily and a plate of five-spice dried tofu. The biyingying lotus porridge is fragrant...

She boasted: "Look at the dim sum made by others. Not to mention the color, fragrance and taste, the color matching is always so delicate. You, including those in Zhuquanyuan, have been learning from others for so long, and they are far behind." !"

Xiaohong sticks out her tongue, curls her lips: "You have to know that when you bring some snacks back, you have to be interrupted, and the servants will eat it by themselves. It's really thankless."

Mrs. Xing scolded her: "Look, it's getting more and more smug now, and I'm not happy to say a few words to you. I don't care. People who have half of their body buried in the ground can eat as much as they want? Isn't it for the sake of food?" You people are in a hurry, if you don’t take advantage of your youth to learn more and do more, what will happen in the future?” She couldn’t imagine that if the mountain of Tianjia’s mansion fell down one day, these flowery girls would have What kind of fate.

Therefore, she tried her best to find excuses to let the maids learn to read, learn to be famous, and make snacks, so that they could have a skill and a means of making a living in the future.It's just that it doesn't seem to have much effect so far. These maids have stayed in the rich nest for too long, and they have long been ignorant of other people's sufferings. Learning a little more complicated skills makes them miserable and tired.Xueyan's culinary skills are no less famous than her female celebrity in Jia's mansion, after all, even the precious egg Baoyu has praised it.It's just that there are still a few maids who learn female celebrity, but none of them learn cooking skills. It's because it's hot in summer and cold in winter, dirty and tiring, so they don't want to learn.

Throughout the house, Mrs. Xing fell in love with Xueyan. Among other things, her female red needlework can be regarded as top-notch here, but she

Not arrogant, still trying to improve myself in various ways.The same is true of cooking skills. In order to make a good soup and dim sum, I did not hesitate to go to the big kitchen to ask those old women for advice.Such a person, even if he leaves Rongguo Mansion in the future, he can still live a good life.

She just likes the positive spirit of Xue Yan, it makes people happy to see it.

Thinking about that cheap daughter-in-law with broken jars, Mrs. Xing wanted to give her a few slaps.

She is cursing Wang Xifeng here, but Wang Xifeng complains full of complaints when she mentions her: "My wife is too lenient, but she just saw the popularity, so she scolded me like that, and she didn't think that I worked so hard for Who? In front of a room full of maids and women, what face do I have to go out to meet people in the future?"

Ping'er persuaded from the side: "That's the wife after all, even if you say something unpleasant, what can grandma do except suffer? Even the second master can't speak for you."

"Don't mention him to me. If he hadn't brought this matter to my wife, I wouldn't have been scolded." Wang Xifeng said bitterly.

Ping'er said: "Second Lord is also thinking about grandma's body. Grandma has only one elder sister under her knees. Even if Second Master doesn't say anything, he still has multiple aunts in his heart."

Wang Xifeng said: "Could it be that I don't want to have a son by my side? It's just that these people are more anxious than me." After speaking, he thought for a while and said: "Forget it, it seems that she is good to the elder sister. For the sake of this, I will give in this time. You pick some supplements from my natal family and send them to your wife, just say that I am young and ignorant, and please take care of me if I do something wrong."

Ping'er nodded: "That's right, the wife is an elder after all, you can't be too soft if you give in."

Afterwards, Ping'er really followed Xifeng's instructions and took something to apologize to Mrs. Xing, and said a lot of good things.

Mrs. Xing accepted the things calmly, and only said: "It's all a family, can I really get angry with your grandma? I'm also worried about her, and I'm bound to speak too quickly when I'm angry. Just reassure her when you go back. I will go to see her when I am free, and those of you who serve her closely should do your best."

Ping'er agreed, and Mrs. Xing sent her away with a few more instructions.

After she left, Mrs. Xing asked Xiao Hong beside her, "What do you think of Ping'er?"

Xiaohong was a little surprised: "Sister Ping'er is very nice, she has always been loyal to Grandma Er*."

"Loyal?" Mrs. Xing sneered and raised the corners of her lips. What she said just now meant that she was so capable that she persuaded Wang Xifeng to bow her head. If she was really loyal, shouldn't she try her best to excuse her master?Why are you talking about your own benefits?
